Everything You Need to Know about Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source orchestration platform for automating deployment, scaling, and management of Linux container operations. It eliminates manual processes by clustering groups of hosts running Linux containers while helping to easily and efficiently manage those clusters across public, private and hybrid clouds.

With Kubernetes, you can quickly and efficiently respond to customer demand:

Deploy your applications quickly and predictably.

Scale your applications effortlessly.

Roll out new features seamlessly.

Limit hardware usage to required resources only.

Key Features of Kubernetes:

Scalability:· Kubernetes can scale without burdening your ops team.

Flexibility: Kubernetes’ flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is.

Run Anywhere: Kubernetes is open source, giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid or public cloud infrastructure, and letting you effortlessly move workloads to where they’re most needed.

Automation: Automatically place containers based on their resource requirements and other constraints without sacrificing availability. Mix critical and best-effort workloads to drive utilization and save resources.

Self-Discovery & Load Balancing: Kubernetes gives containers their own IP addresses and a single DNS (domain name server) name for a set of containers, and it can load-balance.

Automated rollouts & rollbacks: Kubernetes progressively rolls out changes to your application or its configuration, while monitoring application health to ensure it doesn't kill all your instances at the same time. If something goes wrong, Kubernetes will roll-back the change for you.

Controller: The management node of a cloud environment. Typically, you have one controller per cloud region or more in high-availability (HA) environments. The controller manages all subsequent models in each environment.

The current digital security landscape for businesses is complicated, making organizations susceptible to a wide range of threats. And, when you consider recent headlines such as WannaCry, NotPetya attacks and the Equifax breach, it can feel like the bad guys are always one step ahead.

DevOps can most readily be defined as a cultural shift, powered by technology—starting in IT and moving throughout an organization. Microsoft Azure provides an ideal, open and flexible platform for all your developing needs from Java to Python, Windows to Linux.
